PORTFOLIO

You will create a portfolio to organize your research. The portfolio should be presented in a Duotang folder (attached in the brads). All paragraphs should be typed. Use the triangular paper for drawing the fractals.

Remember the compelling question guiding your research:

What essential information should you communicate to the representatives about FRACTALS?

Suggested things to include in your portfolio:

discuss the area of a fractal
self similarity
